Sprinkler and drip systems across the Modesto area
New sprinkler and drip systems, zoned so each part of the yard gets what it needs on the days your city allows: lawns on sprays or rotors, beds and trees on drip.
Soil decides the rest. Sandy ground wants short, repeated cycles, clay wants slower ones, and hardpan needs its own plan.
What’s included
- Layout and zoning for your lot
- Trenching and pipe
- Sprays or rotors for lawns, drip for beds and trees
- Valves and a controller set to your city's days
- A walk-through of the timer when we finish

Common questions
How much does a new sprinkler system cost in 2026?
Most single-yard systems cost $1,800 to $4,500. Whole-property systems with a smart controller usually run $4,500 to $7,500 or more.
Do I need a smart controller?
It is not required, but it adjusts for weather and makes it easy to follow your city's watering days.
Can you install it before new sod or turf?
Yes. Doing irrigation first is the right order, and we can quote both together.
